BTO flats in Clementi, Bukit Panjang with shorter waiting times to go on sale in July
They are part of about 5,500 Build-to-Order (BTO) flats that will be offered in the upcoming sales exercise, he said in a Facebook post.
Clementi Emerald is a 753-unit development with a waiting time of 34 months – or two years and 10 months. Located next to the redeveloped Clementi Polyclinic along with Clementi Primary School and Clementi Town Secondary School, it will be a short walk away from Clementi MRT station.
Amenities nearby will include an eating house, a minimart and a preschool, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) stated on its website.
The 643-unit Bangkit Breeze in Bukit Panjang has a waiting time of 35 months – or two years and 11 months. Located next to Beacon Primary School, it will be close to Bangkit LRT station.
There will be amenities such as an eating house, a minimart and a preschool in the area.
Earlier this month, HDB announced that 775 flats in a new Sembawang North housing estate would be launched in July, with a range of two-room Flexi, five-room and 3Gen flats. These flats will have a waiting time of around three years.
Apart from the sales launch of the BTO flats, HDB will also offer more than 4,600 housing units under its Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) exercise. These exceed the previously committed 3,000 flats.
"With this, we will have launched over 10,000 SBF units this year, including those offered in February 2025."
"These are part of our continued efforts to provide diverse options to meet the range of housing needs and financial budgets of different home buyers, including those who require a flat more urgently," Mr Chee added.

MAS considers calibrating corporate governance code to meet diverse needs of companies
MAS considers calibrating corporate governance code to meet diverse needs of companies Source: Business Times Article Date: 14 Aug 2025 Author: Janice Lim Firms also tend to limit themselves to the bare minimum disclosure requirements, says a central bank representative. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is considering adopting a nuanced approach in its ongoing review of the corporate governance code. This includes calibrating the rules such that they cater to the diverse needs of different types of companies, from large-cap firms to family-controlled enterprises, said Lim Tuang Lee, assistant managing director of the central bank's capital markets division. Speaking on Wednesday (Aug 13) at the release of an annual corporate governance scorecard for Singapore-listed companies, Lim said that this will be among the primary focuses of a group undertaking the review. The sub-committee will fall under a main advisory committee, with a view to facilitate 'more meaningful and practical application of the code'. He added: 'One key objective of this review is that we want to take a long, hard, introspective look at our corporate governance requirements across the corporate governance code and practice guidance, to look at whether they are delivering the outcomes that we want. So a one-size-fits-all approach may not be the way to achieve this.' In May, MAS said that it was reviewing its corporate governance code to complement ongoing efforts in revamping Singapore's equities market. Regulators had previously announced that capital markets would be moving towards a disclosure-based regime. Noting the need to 'look outward and engage widely with different stakeholders', Lim said MAS is taking 'a broader consultative approach beyond the Corporate Governance Advisory Committee... to engage widely across the ecosystem'. 'So this includes both investors and companies of various profiles,' he added. A second sub-committee will examine new code provisions to guide companies' boards on corporate culture, board effectiveness, as well as mismanagement in emerging areas such as artificial intelligence. 'The aim is to strengthen boards' abilities to capture opportunities brought about by the dynamic environment that we are facing, especially with rapid changes in technologies,' Lim said. Stakeholder engagement He also noted that MAS has received feedback, as part of its equities review, that listed companies in Singapore can do more to engage investors and stakeholders. 'Too many companies here limit themselves to the bare minimum disclosure requirements, and in doing so, they've missed the opportunity to articulate strategic visions and plans for companies,' he said. He added that listed companies should hold more active dialogues with investors and the boarder markets, and use these conversations to guide strategic direction. 'The most effective companies do not wait for the annual general meeting to engage their investors and stakeholders. They maintain regular dialogue to seek to better understand their views and concerns,' he said. 'The investor-relations function should not be seen as just a help desk to answer queries. Strong investor-relations teams anticipate queries, provide meaningful context and help shape the narratives around the company.' Such engagements can become a strategic advantage for companies, as they may lead to better valuations, greater trading liquidity and a lower cost of capital.
